🔴 SHE PROTECTED HER UNBORN BABY WITH HER BODY… BUT HER HUSBAND HAD A DEADLY SECRET! 🔴 / Chapter 3 / 10

Chapter 3 - The Ghost of Montgomery

Julian didn't hesitate. He pulled a syringe from his pocket, injected a clear liquid into Evelyn’s IV line, and dragged her off the bed, ducking behind the heavy curtains just as the door swung open.

Daniel stepped inside, followed by a doctor wearing a surgical mask.

"Make it quick, Dr. Evans," Daniel said coldly, checking his gold watch. "The press conference ends in ten minutes. I need to be crying at her bedside when the heart monitor goes flat."

"Understood, Mr. Vance," the doctor said, advancing toward the empty bed. He froze. The sheets were disheveled, and the heart monitor was humming softly, attached to an IV bag that was dripping onto the floor.

"Where is she?!" Daniel roared, his polished demeanor shattering instantly.

From behind the curtain, Julian moved like a predator. He stepped out, driving a heavy silver pen straight into Dr. Evans’ neck. The doctor collapsed without a sound. Before Daniel could react or scream, Julian grabbed Daniel by the throat, slamming him hard against the wall.

"Hello, little brother," Julian whispered maliciously.

Daniel gasped for air, his eyes wide with recognition and terror. "Julian?! You're... you're dead! You disappeared in Singapore!"

"I came back for my cut," Julian sneered. "And to make sure you don't get a single dime of the Montgomery estate."

Evelyn watched from the shadows, terrified. She realized she hadn't been saved by a hero—she was caught in a crossfire between two monsters.

Daniel stepped toward the bed, his polished leather shoes squeaking against the pristine hospital linoleum. He reached for the tray table, his fingers brushing the edge of the papers. His voice was low, coated in a practiced, corporate calm that made my stomach churn worse than the spiked blood pressure.

The silence in the dining room stretched thin, heavy enough to slice with a butter knife. Robert, Michael’s father, adjusted his napkin, completely oblivious to the silent war being fought across the porcelain plates.

Julian pulled a muffled taser from his coat, pressed it into Daniel’s side, and pulled the trigger. Daniel dropped to the floor, convulsing violently before passing out.

"Get up, Evelyn," Julian commanded, handing her a coat. "If you want your baby to live past tonight, you follow me."

The apartment was deathly quiet after the front door clicked shut. My mother’s venomous parting words still hung in the air, but they were nothing compared to the cold weight settling in my chest. Savannah was in our bedroom, the door closed, likely curled up in the dark.

The neon lights of Washington D.C. blurred past the window of the rideshare as the heavy silence of the night pressed against my chest. My phone vibrated relentlessly in my palm, a digital heartbeat of panic. Thane’s name flashed across the screen for the twelfth time. I silenced it, tossing the device onto the seat beside me, my mind racing through the fragments of the evening.

The morning sunlight sliced through the sheer curtains of my quiet, empty apartment like a razor blade.

The rain tapped a frantic rhythm against the glass of Marissa’s cramped, dimly lit kitchen, but the storm outside was nothing compared to the tempest raging inside Adrian Whitmore’s mind. Standing just beyond the rotting wooden doorframe of her apartment, hidden by the heavy shadows of the crumbling stairwell, the millionaire tried to steady his breathing. His expensive wool coat was soaked through, but he didn’t care. His eyes were entirely fixed on the scene unfolding a few feet away.

My hand froze inches from the cold steel of the Sig Sauer P226. Beneath the amber glow of the bedside lamp, the source of the warmth against my side wasn't an assassin, an operative from a rival syndicate, or a traitorous lieutenant.
